When you buy an Alpina you are presented with one of their wines, I’m still waiting for the right time to open my bottle. The bottle seal is even in Alpina blue!. Thanks Jason for posting this very informative thread.

I was hoping to get a Factory tour when I was in Munich last month but I was informed that they have had to cancel factory tours due to confidentially I understand they are doing some work for BWM Sports division!

Being a fan of Honda engines, I requested that they consider building for the F1 a 4.5 liter V10 or V12. I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up with a BMW engine.
